"When I grow up, I would be rich and would build houses and give to the poor "

This was one of my musings growing up. Now in my very late twenties, the dream looks utopian, quixotic and unrealisable. For I have no house of my own let alone one to give to the poor free or rent free.


Life can be uncertain.
The vulcaniser in his fifties, on the street, could have aimed to be wealthy but it never came to pass.

The 40 year old truck pusher could have struggled to be rich but it was never to be.


Life, some say, is best lived in the early 20s. For after then one might start shouldering responsibilities. This is worse if the family is not wealthy. And if one doesn't earn well, one might find oneself in a rat race, a vicious cycle wherein one lives from paycheck to paycheck-- with little or nothing to save and being stuck.


These days I am always downcast, thinking about my life, unsure of what the future holds. Indecisive. Uncertain about which option or decision to take. Many times , I have thought of migration from the East to Lagos, Abuja or even Canada.

"Pray to God for direction, they counsel.'

I have prayed yet nothing.
Does God really care?.
Are our affairs his concerns?
Is there anything like predestination or determinism?
Are some people designed or destined to be poor?
What does the bible mean when it acknowledges ---- both in the old and new testaments-- that the poor would always be there?

But wait, could some be termed rich if there are no poor?
How could be one be said to be tall if there are no short people?

I am confused, very.

How do I get rich and help people too?

How?

Really tired, I am.

My neighbor traveled for a burial in the east, i had to call and find out if everything was ok as he took too long, almost a month.

He just showed up with this car below, after pleasantries and congratulations, in my mind i said this guy was probably cheated.

This morning, my 7year old said, "wow, this engine is so new". Great mileage of about 90k (i dont doubt), but a salvaged 2008 with 2012 body kit. I saw the steering and
audio system and i knew, checked the seatbelt and it confirmed 2008. He got a good deal in his mind but i know he most probably didnt. Infact putty already fell off his rear bumper.

People buy cars every day, getting a good deal is the problem not the brand of car you are buying. A 90k mileage is a good buy but buying a 2008 at the price of 2012 isnt fair and would definitely not be a good deal. Unless there was full disclosure that is.

A good deal is just getting a perfect car at the perfect price where both buyer and seller leave happy and satisfied. A bad deal is when price is higher than the value of the car most times arising from insincerity or ignorance.

mehn ppl get mind oo.

So they sold him 2008 as 2012? chai

How do you detect that by sealtbelt?

They should advise her to set up a shop instead of hawking.

I close down business after spending almost 30k repairing two genes within 3 weeks . Life can be hell.

Were the gens old gens?

Seems you didn't buy new gens?

Well..power is relatively stable in my house..as a backup I installed a small solar inverter solution (0.5kva and 80 watts panels) to power my laptop, fan and led light) all less than 60k..

What's the battery capacity?

How many hours can it last?

iammo:


Buy Solar + Inverter + battery and you'd forever be grateful to God, because some fools are quick to write petition to the police or EFCC if you run a 24/7 Gen lifestyle to stay online, and they dont see you going for a 9-5 desk job.

Mtn Lumious is cheap on installmental plan but you can buy a better system on alibaba power a dc fan, light bulb in four rooms, power Laptops and phones. If you have a dc tv you're good to go, or an Low power AC Tv,

last last you would almost be temted to sell or dash out your generator


.

What type do you use?

Can we get an estimate of price, pics and capacity?

tetralogyfallot:
I get 3 to 4hrs of light daily n I use the light to charge my inverter battery. Three good hours of charging of my inverter battery can give me about 10hrs good hours of steady light cos I use energy saver appliances from TV to electric bulbs.

what's the inverter capacity?

They arrested our former sales manager sometimes around surulere bypass and l was inside the car. We wanted to ask for a direction and we completely park off the road. They appeared from no-where with their hilux as if they want to arrest Shakarau.

LASMA: You are under arrest
My Boss: For what officer
LASMA: You parked on pedestrian side of the road
My Boss: I don't want to cause traffic that is the reason l parked off the road. He started speaking English and FORTRAN
.. and before we could say jack, they towed our car.

Someone advised him to settle them with 10k, they insisted on 25k without receipt and when we told hi (manager), he said he will not pay a dime but to sue them bla bla bla, report them to Alausa, CNN, BBC .
They gave him ticket in their office to pay 55k to special account. Bring a medical psychiatric test report, then go back to lasma office in Oshodi to do driving fitness test, Tax receipt for three years. For good 3 days, the man could not finish the process. When they eventually released his car, they have deflated the 4 tyres and to pump one tyre in their office 1k.

Ambode was able to silence them and VIO but immediately he lost second term bid, they came out in full force.

.55k?

Any fine at 55k?

Nyamuriflathead:
Which kind yeye court? This is laughable.
Someone should pls tell these pipo that it's the duty of the legislature to make laws. Courts and judges are supposed to interpret these laws and not usurp the authority of the legislative arm of government. Only the president and sultan can actually Wade into this issue, not courts.
The qtn everyone is asking is, what was Emir sanusi doing when the bill to decentralize his emirate was raised till it reached second reading and was passed into law? This issue could have been settled amicably if not for the Emirs Over bloated Ego. He probably has bad advisers as well..

They prevented the implementation

Court can also declare that void.

i know this is not what you would like to do but please what do you think ?

Waiting for your expert opinion.

emmahoney:
OP, you do not have any issue. However, you can do the following:

1. Register for M.Sc programme in UI, UNN, OAU or UNILAG and ensure you pass the entrance exam if you are meant to write one. During your M.Sc programme do your best by having a minimum of PhD grade. After your M.Sc program apply for PhD program that you are qualified for.

2. Write either IELTS or TOEFL and do well in either of two exams.

3. Write GRE if you are interested in USA universities.

Do not allow anyone to limit you. You can make it happen. Along the journey you need emotional endurance to sail through. It took me three good years to win a PhD scholarship with my strong undergraduate and postgraduate GPAs whereas of friend of mine with GPAs below mine got his doctoral scholarship 3 years ago and I will be starting mine this year!!

Please how long did your Msc take?

And which school?

Smartwave:
fuel filter is just #700 not thousand. Change first. Then, you will know the next step, but I'm sure is fuel filter.

ok thanks!

I just wonder why it performs, accelerates or idles well after starting?

delugajackson:

Only height? What about his shadow and his finger-print? Husband-snatcher oshi.

lol

Smartwave:
Nothing much wrong with your car pls, your fuel filter is about to kill your fuel pump. I use golf 3 too, anytime that change oil, I also check my fuel filter too.

Are there not other possible things that could be causing the challenge?

poorly written rubbish
spits!

EngRichie:
Check the fuel supply.

Fuel filter or pump?

diportivo:




wow
that's some badass sorcerer right there

lol

diportivo:




yes to both questions

but then,if you have a sensible mechanic,looking for what went wrong in the three stuff I stated can't be hard

good luck sir

Thanks a lot.

I called one mechanic on phone today, he was talking about temperature switch and fuel filter.

diportivo:
u need a scanner.....and a good mechanic

three things

fuel

spark

compression

ur car is a single port fuel injector and not a carburettor......electric or firewood

Oh thanks sir!

Is it possible to have use a scanner on golf 3? as old as it is?


You mean the right term is single port fuel injector?

hi

EngRichie:
Check the fuel supply.

fuel pump?

I normally leave car for a week or 2 before using it due to my schedule. And I do just short trips, then till next 2 or 3 weeks. But it starts each time ONCE.(for the past 13 months)

But hard starting started recently.

I start and engine cranks fine but won't start.

After starting for about 12 times it starts and idles fine.

In between the 12 times, it may start for 2 secs and does "buru buru buru" and it offs. Even pressing gas pedal won't help it.

But if it starts eventually, it won't go off again till you finish your journey.

Engine is 1.8. I heard the carburretor is electric. Transmission is manual.

There is enough fuel and engine cranks fine.
Battery is good too!

What could be the issue please.

I don't know much about cars!
Thanks! Detailed analysis will be very much appreciated.

Andrez123:
I won't recommend any infinix or tecno phone which is below 40k because they are basically worthless for their prices, Gionee phones at that price range have become scarce because the recent bankruptcy of their company. Phones from Xiaomi, Umidigi and Nokia at that price range are much better but then their spare parts and accessories are scarce in Nigerian offline stores.

Such a conundrum.

What's the way forward please within the 40k?

CHESTER48:
I can't contribute because I have never bought,adviced some1 to buy an Infinix,Tecmo or Gionee but I can only give you better options.however, I may be able to help
First of all what are the most important thing you need in the phone for your sis? Since she is a lady that means camera is no1. You don't want to buy your sis a phone that lags on Snapchat filters that is another point.
You need storage so your sis won't complain of low memory in future. If you out all this to consideration then I'm sorry at that price you may not get anything reasonable. But if you want to buy something still at that price that can work I think the Nokia x6 or 5 some people adviced could make a point. Or wait lemme check more

Oh baba

Ka mu chere

Mustack:



That mean you're a great damager.

Why not try umidigi!!

Lol
My sis will be using it.

I want to maintain gionee, infinix, tecno

Ara99:
the Gionee s8s is a good option since you want something from either gionee, Infinix or tecno. It costs about ₦45,000

A8s or S8s ?

Kingsleyibeh99 come pls

CHESTER48:
I thought you created a thread bashing tecno and Infinix phones. How come you still want to buy one?

Not bashing per se.

I was highly pissed off that those marketers wouldn't allow people give reviews without bias.

They are everywhere praising all the devices.

I wanted to hear from people who have used the devices with first hand experience.

Abeg contribute.

Andrez123 please we need your input here

Freelancerx:
you can get Tecno POUVOIR 2 air for 40k its 5000 mah battery

Thanks
